i'm originally from the midwest and the people in my hometown of kansas city, the youtpouring is incredible, really is incredible. and i can't tell you how touching that is to know that people that i've known my whole life that are not just in kansas city anymore. i have a friend in germany and all over the world, and they're all responding to this. that's why i think it's important that we get this message out and let's all join hands and let's lead with love in everything we do. not just getting through this tragedy. but rebuilding what we want this country to do for our children. >> how are these parents, though, going to -- i can only imagine, you know, you were there at the funeral, how could these parents move forward now, knowing what has just happened friday morning? >> that's a long journey. i have a little bit of experience personally with that. not like this but a little bit. and it's a hollowness. it's weak knees. it's all the horrible things everyone imagines. all you can do is take it a day at a time and depend on everybody you love and i would tell our community that two week
